Water: Dahlia 'Verda' thrives with large leaves, requiring ample water while being prone to root rot. During drought, it should be watered immediately, and drainage needs attention in rainy seasons. Initially, seedlings need less water, increasing as they mature. Watering is best before sunrise or after sunset.

Fertilize: Dahlia 'Verda' requires fertile soil with a liquid nitrogenous fertilizer applied every 10-15 days initially, shifting to phosphate-potassium in later stages. Fertilization should stop when flower buds show color and should avoid high temperatures. Leaf appearance indicates fertilizer levels—deficiency or excess can lead to specific leaf symptoms.

Pruning: Dahlia 'Verda' thrives with early spring pruning, which involves removing spent flowers and dead stems. Cutting back to 1-2 nodes above ground promotes robust regrowth and enhances blooming. Use clean, sharp tools to prevent disease for optimal plant health.

Propagation: Dahlia 'Verda' can be propagated through root division, cutting, and sowing. Root division involves planting tubers at 15℃ with good survival rates. Cutting is preferred for faster rooting; buds should be cut when 3-5 cm and kept in moist sandy soil at 70%-75% humidity. Sowing takes 1-2 years for blooms.
